Does it sound like he likes me?

[Fuxkrukrepa]

I sound like a silly teenager with a crush but I'm a grown adult.

There's a man at work who always is going out of his way to try to initiate conversations with me, normally not about work. He also tries to make me laugh a lot and has invited me on multiple group outings outside of work (but I've only been able to attend one).

Does it sounds like he's interested in me?

Hard to tell but possibly. He could just be a nice bloke who thinks you're a mate. Going on just what youve said it does sound like he likes you to go out of his way ;)

He could just see me as a friend, that's what I'm not sure about. He does message me in the evenings though sometimes about nothing. Would a man make the effort to chat to a woman he only sees as a friend? Am I fooling myself?

It sounds like he likes you as a person. Perhaps you can go on more group outings and make ask him more about himself when he comes over to talk.

Are you having to decline items because of childcare?

Outings, oops

I haven't been able to attend most because they've been at places too far away for me to get home from at night, as I don't drive. I definitely do respond to his questions and we often have quite lengthy chats. I think he might like me but then I also think that hes maybe out of my league.

Is he single? Does he indulge in flirty chat? Does he know or ever comment upon your relationship status?

He is single, he often comments on that. He knows that I'm also single. The conversation sometimes seems flirty but tbh I'm pretty oblivious when it comes to figuring out when a man is flirting with me

Next time he says he's single just say "so what are you going to do about that?" with a smile.

It does sound like he possibly likes you. I wouldn’t be too direct but the next time there is a work night out, if you can’t go because it’s too far, say something along the lines of “oh it’s such a pity I can’t come, we’ll have to organize a meetup sometime for those of us that live I in x area”. Not in a passive aggressive way, just in a relaxed way in which people talk about arranging stuff and then don’t. If he is interested he has an opening then to suggest something in your area.

Op, I think you want it to hear he does like you. And obviously there are folks who will tell you what you wish to hear to make you happy.

The bottom line is from this little info no one know, it is simply impossible for randoms to tell if he’s just being friendly, as he is to others, or fancies you.

Ask him out for a drink alone, see what he says
